Overview

ABOUT THIS FUND

This dynamic, global multi-sector fixed income fund seeks risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation.

WHY INVEST IN THIS FUND

Risk Management: Our risk process is focused on understanding portfolio behaviors and adjusting the risk exposure over a market cycle, seeking to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns relative to the benchmark.

Cross asset collaboration: We draw on the input and experience of specialists across different asset classes. Incorporating these insights results in a deeper understanding of the current investment regime, helping us to identify the major turning points and specific opportunities.

Scenario-driven research: Investment decisions are made through a probabilistic lens, not a central forecast. Our assessment is informed by considering the distribution of potential outcomes and in turn a focus on relative attractiveness of fixed income sectors.
